Can I just use the end of the slats to sit on the side rails of the frame without having to drill holes?

Yes, you can let it "rest" on the bottom of the "lip" of the bed frame side rail because the weight of the box springs and mattress will keep it in place. Just make sure the legs on the bottom are adjusted so they will not push up to much on the support rail(slat). The support rail has about 1 1/2" of surface where it will rest on the bed side board. The wood screws help to keep it from falling down especially if you "jump" into bed or if you are moving the bed without taking it apart and have wood floors.

Yes. I have them screwed in to make sure they are sturdy and dont move since it ison my sons bed and he constantly jumps into his bed to get in it.

Yes, You can cut and adjust the length of the rail. I just installed it this weekend act its pretty easy...just need a screw driver or an drill with the screw bit and some scissors to get the right panel length.

You need only Platform frame. No need for boxspring unless you want to make it too high.

It would be a lot of work. Each slat rests on the side frame. One wider long piece of wood under it and then a second piece on top of that (narrower) with a niche carved out to position each slat. It would be easier to simply add a few extra slats.

They can be installed either way. Holes for the rail pin are drilled both top and bottom. No worries.

You could...but there would be holes that show where the wooden dowls go to attach the top half. Its possible though.

Won't take standard frame-has to be 2 separate rails that bolt into headboard and footboard

I have not done it, but it looks like it would be possible. There are two sets of pre-drilled holes on each side that appear to line up with the holes in my metal frame.

No, it is not possible. There are no pre-drilled holes on the other side and it looks like wiring for the front panel goes through the existing hinge holes.

You can if you're prepared to locate one of the rail mounting brackets exactly where the two rails will meet at the center. Those brackets are well-machined and will hold the rails in precise alignment.

From looking at it I don't think you can. The hanging rails fit into the sides and I don't see any way you could install them any other way.

you can use the beds separately and if not "bunking" them, you don't have to use the side rails.

It does not have slats you will need a box spring. You cannot use the frame without a box spring

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

The slats or rails are about 1/2" apart so I think you would have to use a glass top.

Yes, you can do it. The simplest way is to use the mounting plate for the side, then just shoot some screws (use washers inside) right through the three "thumbscrew" holes on the back portion. You'll need about a 12" screwdriver or appropriate extenders to do it.

Yes. The front, back and both side rails can be slid and tightened down in any location required. There are slotted holes as well. The only way it would not work for you is if your mounting holes on the sides or front and back are not in a straight line with the corosponding hole on that same side. Even then I think you could improvise something that would work.
